@danielborek Do you suggest that main the Beaver output shows \cite{key} instead of [1] as citations? What about this instead: "Copy as Latex" option in addition to copy as markdown (which is the default). That would leave the UI unchanged (no \cite{key} in the visible output) but give you latex formatted output.
I was not suggesting that Beaver’s visible output should replace numeric citations with \cite{key}.
What I meant is indeed a copy/export preference: when a user copies Beaver output, citations could optionally be converted to a citekey-based format using the Zotero citekey already stored in metadata. That could support different targets, for example LaTeX (\cite{key}) or Pandoc/Markdown ([@key] / @key).
This is not an essential feature for me, and I would still verify citations manually, but it could be useful for workflows such as pasting Beaver output into Obsidian Markdown notes or LaTeX documents.
UI can stay unchanged, while the copied output uses a user-selected citation format.
EDIT: I shared here a long prompt on how to use extract info in relation to the research topic, but after a few days of using it, I see that it is better to use much shorter and focused questions, not necessarily spanning several subtopics.
@danielborek What I liked about your prompt is customizing AI workflows to your work. There are builtin defaults but it gets much more useful when you customize them.
@lboccia Not yet but almost done. Later this week or next week at the latest. With support for reading, editing and creating notes including citations, equations, user approval flows so you remain in control. Creating new notes already works now.
Joscha, thank you for Beaver — it has been a huge help for my workflow. As a private dentist with 35 years of manual Medline/PubMed searching behind me, I wanted to ask: are there any plans to integrate PubMed directly into Beaver? OpenAlex works well, but for medical topics the MeSH vocabulary and PubMed's filters are hard to replace. Native PubMed support would be a fantastic addition. P. S.: I just saw, that better integration between PubMed and Openalex is on its way: https://gemini.google.com/share/d08221172d3f
@milogies Glad to hear that Beaver is a huge help! Yes, I am interested in better supporting domain/discipline specific workflows starting with legal research, medical research and patent/intellectual property research. The goal would be to make Beaver more an expert in specific domains (in addition to general academic/research work). That might involve integrating with specific database (like Medline/PubMed), citation systems, zotero item types and other discipline-specific things that deviate from general-purpose academic/research practices.
If you (or others) are interested in sharing thoughts on that, feel free to send me an email. I am not an expert in any of these domains so it would be good to hear what is missing. For example, OpenAlex indexes PubMed so I think Beaver should already find PubMed articles. But maybe it's the focus, missing search fields etc

Highlights in my opinion:
- Getting Beaver to work with Kimi K2.6 through Openrouter.
- Custom Prompt for writing reviews automatically.
I am also trying to get this published in a German dental journal. I submitted the manuscript, co-written by Kimi Code and me, only yesterday.
